That was an off shooting night for Allie. The 20 rebounds impresses me though.

I did enjoy that NC/SC game. Had my hopes up that NC would pull it out, but they sure gave Dawn a game!

there are brief flashes of light sometimes....
When South Carolina was down in the first half and playing very poorly, a UNC player was standing near Dawn getting positioned to take the ball out. Dawn gave her an affectionate pat on the shoulders.
That lady has a lot of soul. I know some folks will come back that she plays the race card, and I don't want to get into it. For me, I'd be proud to have her as my coach.
Also maybe the greatest combo of outstanding player and outstanding coach in all basketball history, right? What other great players have become such great coaches? She's a genuine hall of famer two ways.

Maybe that helps her succeed but imagine playing under that pressure. Fulwiley was a "genertional talent" a few weeks ago and now she's almost benched. You do it Dawn's way or no way. All top coaches are very demanding. She looks like it might go to another level. Did you see her throughout that game with one contortion after another when things didn't go her way? She has a lot of endearing qualities I'm sure as her players seem to love her. She's like a tough love parent who really does care.
Admin: deleted first sentence: let's think about how things sound.

Dawn is probably the coach I would choose to play for in WCBB.
But I consider her dangerous. I think she wants to turn college basketball into the WNBA. She wants to talk about social issues. She wants to talk about politics. And I am not interested in mixing those things with sports. So, I am kind of afraid of what I consider activist coaches.

Right: I acknowledged that and I know some find it offensive. I suspect her players appreciate it, which doesn't mean it works for all the fans. |

I would still choose her a million times over a Kim Mulkey.
